Nothing to blame ~ Wriothesley x Reader

Sippy cup

"Lucas!! He could be here any moment! Do we have the tea leaves?" You continued to stress about having the house in perfect shape. You're afraid that you were forgetting something.

"No worries my lady. We do have the tea leaves. No need to stress about something that small." Lucas said as he started to boil the water. You continued to walk around in circles, thinking about the house's current condition.

"My Lady, you might worsen your ankle if you keep moving like that." Lucas said as he finished boiling the water. You nearly forgot that your ankle wasn't fully healed yet.

You stopped in your tracks and lost yourself in thought for a moment. You nearly forgot about your ankle. "You're right.. I should calm down." You took a deep breath and walked over to Lucas.

"Is the tea ready?" you asked Lucas.
He nodded and placed the tea on the table.
You hope it won't get cold before he arrives.

As Wriothesley walked down the streets of Fontaine.
He sensed something strange. He kept looking from side to side to check if there was anything unusual.
It was midday, what bad can happen.

"She's a beauty isn't she." he heard a voice coming from behind. He turned around to be greeted with a wicked smile. "I believe we haven't met yet." His Grace said with a neutral look on his face.
"You'll find out sooner or later." he continued to smile at him.

"I'm guessing you're Y/Ns Ex?" he furrowed his eyebrows at the mysterious man. "Not bad." he chuckled as Wriothesley found out his identity.
"I wanted to visit her actually, but I found out she was already interested in someone else." the man ran his hand through his hair.

"Well it's an honor to meet that someone of hers."
He bowed before the duke politely.
"I'm not letting you near her." Wriothesley cracked his knuckles as he the man's smile turned upside down. "You have no idea who you're messing with."
The man's eyes stared blankly at him.

"I possess all information about her. I own her."
He grinned as he said those last 3 words.
"If you're soooo all knowing why don't you tell me."
Wriothesley rolled his eyes at him.

"trust me.. I know Y/N like the back of my hand."
The man held a serious yet intimidating look on his face. "I bet you've never seen her body like I did. Ohh how soft her skin is to my touch." he already started fantasizing about you. Drool was pooling in his mouth,

It disgusted Wriothesley the way he was talking about you. "The way she moaned under my touch."
At this point, he was just provoking Wriothesley.
"She was like a slut under my control." The man grinned. Wriothesley was burning with anger.
He grabbed the man by his collar "don't you dare talk to her that way!" his canines were visible as he yelled at him.

"I'm just telling you the truth" the man continued the smile at Wriothesley despite the situation he was in. The man grabbed the duke by his wrists as he kept holding him by his collar.

Before Wriothesley knew it. His wrists burned in pain. Out of Reflex, Wriothesley let the man go.
As the duke looked at him in the eyes, they glowed fiery red. He assumed that the man had a pyro vision, by the way he burned him.

"So go enjoy playing sippy cup with her while you still can." the man grinned from ear to ear as he left Wriothesley speechless.

Wriothesley was still holding his wrists as the mysterious man left. As he made himself on his way, he still felt that burning sensation on his wrists.
He kept holding on his wrists to ease out the pain. There was no way he could hide his pain from you. He knew that you'll definitely ask him about it.
